Abstract

PURPOSE: The morphology of bone marrow cells is essential in identifying malignant hematological disorders. The automatic classification model of bone marrow cell morphology based on convolutional neural networks shows considerable promise in terms of diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. However, due to the lack of acceptable accuracy in bone marrow cell classification algorithms, automatic classification of bone marrow cells is now infrequently used in clinical facilities. To address the issue of precision, in this paper, we propose a Dual Attention Gates DenseNet (DAGDNet) to construct a novel efficient, and high-precision bone marrow cell classification model for enhancing the classification model's performance even further.
